Thanks for that.
a snip from ..
History of Mission San Gabriel Arcángel
http://californiamissionsfoundation.org/mission-san-gabriel/
Architecturally, San Gabriel is distinct among the California missions. Father Antonio Cruzado, the designer, was born in Cordova, Spain. His Moorish style is unique, and draws directly from the famous cathedral of Cordova, where the side walls feature capped buttresses. Cruzado and his associates finished construction of the church in 1805, using adobe brick and a tiled roof like that of Mission San Antonio. At its peak, the mission reached nearly 300 feet in length.
The Partnership of BLM and Antifa
Thanks for the Link.
“What are the odds that it is BLM or jihadists?”
51% or higher.
Sad. Beautiful church with tons of history. Burned, because someone did not like the speck in Fr. Serra’s eye while ignoring the Marxist log in his own eye. Oh well. The San Gabriel Mission was damaged by earthquake in 1840 and the new roof was built in 1940. It was a flimsy roof.
Not a complete loss but quite the mess.. hopefully the walls are salvageable.

BLM or Antifa. Note the toppling of statues of the Rev. Junipero Serra, founder of the California missions and graffiti attacks on missions.
